A comprehensive census of the stellar content of the OB associations within 1 kpc from the Sun is presented, based on Hipparcos positions, proper motions, and parallaxes. It is a key part of a long-term project to study the formation, structure, and evolution of nearby young stellar groups and related star-forming regions. OB associations are unbound "moving groups," which can be detected kinematically because of their small internal velocity dispersion. The nearby associations have a large…

A moving group of young stars in Carina—Vela

Accurate two-colour photometry and proper motions of 7096 young X-ray stars in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Star Catalogue, version 1RXS, are extracted from the Tycho-2 Catalogue. The sample is…

OB association members in the ACT and TRC catalogues

The Hipparcos Catalogue contains members of nearby OB associations brighter than 12th magnitude in V. However, membership lists are complete only to magnitude V=7.3. In this paper we discuss whether…

A Quick Guide to Nearby Young Associations

Nearby associations of stars which are coeval are important benchmark laboratories because they provide robust measurements of stellar ages. The study of such coeval groups makes it possible to…

Mapping young stellar populations towards Orion with Gaia DR1

Abstract OB associations are prime sites for the study of star formation processes and of the interaction between young massive stars with the interstellar medium. Furthermore, the kinematics and…

A new compact young moving group around V1062 Scorpii

Aims. We are searching for new open clusters or moving groups in the solar neighbourhood.Methods. We used the Gaia-TGAS catalogue, cut it into narrow proper motion and parallax slices and searched…

The Stellar Membership of the Taurus Star-forming Region

The high-precision astrometry from the second data release of the Gaia mission has made it possible to greatly improve the census of members of nearby clusters and associations. I have applied the…

A wide survey for circumstellar disks in the Lupus complex

Previous star formation studies have, out of necessity, often defined a population of young stars confined to the proximity of a molecular cloud. Gaia allows us to examine a wider, three-dimensional…

A search for OB stars in the field of the galactic OB association Bochum 7

Aims. We plan to identify the members of the Bochum 7 association by performing simultaneous astrometric and spectrophotometric analyses, and estimate its distance and evolutionary stage. Methods.…

A Census of the Taurus Star-forming Region and Neighboring Associations with Gaia

I have used high-precision photometry and astrometry from the third data release of Gaia to perform a survey for members of the Taurus star-forming region and young associations in its vicinity. This…

SPYGLASS. IV. New Stellar Survey of Recent Star Formation within 1 kpc

Young stellar populations provide a powerful record that traces millions of years of star formation history in the solar neighborhood. Using a revised form of the SPYGLASS young star identification…
